Extension of the Side Distance Measurement Aspect Ratio in the Measurement of a Slot or Bore Using a Commercial Laser Triangulation Sensor

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We propose a new commercial laser triangulation sensor modification to enable the measurement of slots or bores side distance. The study showed the possibility of extending the sensor depth range for a slot or bore side distance measurement using a bypass of the illumination laser beam compared to a simple single mirror attachment to the sensor probe. We derived relations allowing for evaluation of the modified sensor side measurement range in desired depth based on the sensor parameters and the reflective mirror size and position. We demonstrated the functionality of the proposed measurement arrangement with an attachment to the commercial laser triangulation sensor and assessed the side-wall distance measurement. The results show the correct measurement depth and range prediction and the ability to perform side surface distance measurements at depths of more than 3.5 times the slot size.
